1.7-billion-year-old fossils reveal a crucial clue to the rise of complex life
fossil
Scientists studying ancient Australian rocks uncovered more than 12,000 fossils from some of the oldest known eukaryotes on Earth. These early complex cells lived in settings ranging from coastal mudflats to the open sea, but only where oxygen was available. Oxygen-free environments contained simpler microbes instead. The findings strengthen the idea that oxygen played a crucial role in the emergence of complex life.

A broken rib from Scotty, the largest known T. rex skeleton, contains an extraordinary fossilized network of blood vessels formed while the dinosaur was healing. Scientists used neutron and X-ray imaging to look inside the 66-million-year-old bone without damaging it, revealing details rarely preserved in fossils.

Remarkable Study Reveals the Origins of Bat Evolution
flight fossil evolution study
A huge international study has shed new light on bat evolution. The research suggests that bats originated in Europe around 65 million years ago. Moreover, both powered flight and echolocation appear to have evolved very early in their history. The study represents the largest investigation yet to combine bat genomes with evidence from the fossil
